Meritorius Service Awards

The National Civil Protection meritorious service award can be received by any personnel from all State Administrations and forces, but also by volunteers nominated by administrations, organisations or member associations that have in any way helped people affected by severe emergencies or large-scale events.

National Service

The “civil protection” is the set of activities deployed to safeguard lives, goods, properties and environment from damage or dangers triggered by disasters: risk prevention and prediction, rescue operations of affected populations, tackling and overcoming emergencies and risk mitigation. The civil protection is not a task assigned to a specific administration, but a function carried out by a complex system: the national service of civil protection.

Voluntary Work

In our country volunteers of civil protection are a lively resource composed by over 800,000 members throughout the national territoryand over 4,000 organizations registered in the national list of the Civil Protection Department.
